Barbie's real-life boyfriend, Jak Roberto, was named as one of their love interests in the story.

At the time of the interview, Mika said that she doesn't have a leading man yet.

However, it was announced last December 5 that former ABS-CBN actor Paul Salas will play a major role in Kara Mia.

It has not been revealed yet if he will play Mika's partner, but the two of them already worked as love team in ABS-CBN's 2015 series, You're My Home.
